'Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.'

From Bro. Goodenough.

BRO. SMITH: I feel to rejoice that the Third Angel's

Message is on the rise in this State. I want to rise with it; for I believe it is the last call of mercy to this world, and is soon to close. O may we be prepared for that time! I want to be among the waiting ones when the Lord returns from the wedding.

I was at Hillsborough about three weeks ago, and found the brethren strong in the faith and striving to overcome. From that place I came here expecting to find the brethren rejoicing in the truth, but the enemy had been at work here since Bro. Phelps left, dividing the flock, not letting the brethren speak of the truth in their prayer-meetings. But the Lord has worked for them, and they are now striving to walk together again in peace and love. May the Lord help them. Last Sabbath I spoke to them, and we met in the evening for a prayer-meeting. The Lord met with us, praise his holy name!

Yours striving to overcome.

J. R. GOODENOUGH.
